Our mission
In Australia, one veterinarian dies by suicide every 12 weeks - and one particular study has shown vets are four times more likely to take their own life, when compared to the general population.
We're working to bring together the community, encourage meaningful conversations and spread awareness of the mental health challenges faced by veterinary and para-veterinary professionals, in their line of work.
We walk and talk to help break down the stigma surrounding suicide and mental health more broadly. Through our public walk events, we're raising the profile of veterinary mental health and educating the community about how they can have a positive effect when taking their pet to the vet. Our podcast series Flynn's Talk celebrates the amazing diversity in the veterinary field and shines a light on the realities those within it are faced with.
Flynn's Walk is an Australian registered health promotion charity and endorsed deductible gift recipient.
